Free vehicle inspection Dec. 10

On Dec. 10, University Police and the Department of Parking and Transportation, in partnership with Hartmann’s Towing, will once again sponsor a free vehicle inspection service to students, faculty and staff.

People traveling by car for the holiday break can bring their vehicles to the parking lot on the west side of University Police Headquarters on the South 40 between noon-3 p.m. for inspections.

Staff will check tire pressure, fluid levels, wipers, headlights and taillights. Local businesses have donated oil and windshield-washer fluid to allow fluids to be topped off.

The WUPD Bear Patrol will assist the police and parking staff.

The Police Department is reminding those traveling during the holiday season to get plenty of rest, pay close attention to weather and road conditions, make sure your vehicle is in good working condition and always wear a seatbelt.

For more information, call the WUPD Crime Prevention Office at 935-5084.
